Answer:

The average acceleration, aₐ = 6 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial speed of the roller coaster car, u = 4 m/s

The final speed of the roller coaster car, v = 22 m/s

The time taken to attain the final speed is, t = 3 s

The average acceleration is defined as the change in the final velocity to initial velocity by time.

aₐ = v - u / t m/s²

Substituting the values in the above equation,

aₐ = 22 m/s - 4 m/s / 3 s

= 6 m/s²

Hence, the average acceleration of the roller coaster is aₐ = 6 m/s²

Answer:

I do agree with the student. Because imagene you have a tissue and a stick. And you throw them at the same speed , the stick will go farther because it' s heavier but the tissue would just blow around and not go forward because it is not heavy enought.

Hope this is correct have a terrific day.

The radius of the earth's very nearly circular orbit around the sun is 1.5 1011 m. find the magnitude of the earth's velocity, a

kotykmax [81]

The radius of Earth's circular trajectory is
$R=1.5*10^{11} m$
The time for the Earth to travel around the Sun is
$t=365(days)*24(hours)*3600(seconds) =3.1536*10^7 (s)$
Thus the velocity is velocity
$v=2\pi R/t =2\pi *1.5*10^{11}/(3.1536*10^{7})=2.99*10^4 (m/s)$
From this we can deduce the centripetal acceleration
$a=v^2/R =(2.99*10^4)^2/(1.5*10^{11}) =5.96*10^{-3} (m/s^2)$
Angular velocity is
$\omega =v/R =(2.99*10^4)/(1.5*10^{11})=2*10^{-7} (rad/s)$
